      yeah i am thinking that as well. i think a third fight is warranted for sure. plus i can watch these 2 fight as often as they like. great match up.

        Both fights were way to close not to have a 3rd one. I dont know why the Paquiao Nuthugers wouldnt want a 3rd fight? these guys are made for each other, they make great fights.

          Marquez is compactable enough, he fights correctly to make a switch to lightweight quite easy, that being said I doubt he could handle the pace and strength of guys like Juan Diaz or Nate Campbell, I just don't see it, he'd get outpunched and hustled.

            this was the right move for JMM in order for him to secure a 3rd fight with the Pacman... it was evident that Pacman was moving up to 130 win or lose (After the JMM rematch)... a 3rd fight at the end of the year would be great...

              Pac already said, "This business is over", Marquez is the Ken Norton to his Ali, he's always gonna have trouble with Juan so I doubt Manny will get back in the ring with him.

                This is getting ridiclous.Does MARQUEZ have no shame.He was dropped 4 times against PAQUIA,I never remember PAC MAN hurt.Marquez can keep chasing PACQUIA all he wants noone says PAC has to fight him.The truth is to me and many people I know the fights were close but not that exciting,not enough to merit a 3rd fight.MARQUEZ should move on and stop BEGIN LIKE A DOG,WHERE IS THIS GUYS SHAME,ITS EMBARRISSING.

                  JMM moving up will make lightwheight the strongest division. J.Diaz, Casa, Campbell, Katsidis, Pac, JMM, David Diaz, Khan, Peterson, great talent pool, better or equal to welterwheight.

                  I think JMM is doing the right thing moving up, at his age he'd better go after big fights before retiring.

                    it's great to see how determined marquez is to get another match against pac. he deserved the victory both times, if he gets the fight, hopefully third time is a charm for him.

                      Hatton is interested in a Pacquiao bout on his interview and Roach said Pacquiao fighting Hatton than Paulie is too big for a boxing event to refuse for GBP PPV wise and Live Gate Attendance...... It could change the landscape win or lose Pacquiao fighting him will earn him thrice as much as what he earned against Marquez.. Plus It will not even affect his legacy when he returns to 135..

                      Marquez is starting to become like Junior Witter... I know the fight is close and Marquez got Knock down 4 times but damn, I can't believe how JMM is thinking about Pac every minute of his life..
